Got to get this off my chest. [Happened yrs. ago]

[Dancer]

A friend who owned a farm gave me a heads-up that he was bringing down the old house. Said he would brush hog the area if I wanted to hunt it. Well I started in the front yard, nothing great- couple of Wheats, old washers, etc.
Moved to the back, some of the same, but not much. So I seen an old small orchard and went scratching around over there. Soon enough, just off a old apple tree, I got a real good hit, up in the fifty cent range. Well tapped something with my screwdriver, but felt like wood. Still the sig. was coming in even better. I was pretty careful back than, and after a while, I almost flipped. I'd unearthed a rotten,wooden box, maybe little over a foot long. Checked it, and the target was inside it. Carefully pryed it open, and somethings rapped in a moldy cloth. Cloth, easly came apart, & my nerves were jumping. And there it was, a pile of old cat bones and fur. With a big Sturling Silver tag, labled "Fluffy" Thats right, I dug up Fluffy !! Well a feeling of guilt, and embarasment came over me like a wave. I than did what at the time I thought was the right thing. What would have you guys done ?

PS Rob one little grave, and forever be called a Grave Robber !

Did you take the tag?

But I probably would have left it. I am superstitious about those things.

I would have re-buried "Fluffy" (tag & all).

X2, I would leave it alone. not like when you find deer sheds.

I would have reburied it also. I don't want anybody digging me up again when I am gone.

Fluffy probably hated dragging that damn thing around it's whole life and would've been happy to finally get rid of it. I would have relieved the poor kitty of it's burden.

Anybody remember that TV cat food commercial that one of our great old heavy weight boxers, Jack Dempsey did?---He said "I like cats better'n dogs and I don't care who knows it"!!--Must've added a few cat lovers to the tally! -----Nah, I would have left the tag with dear ole Fluffy!

It would have probably freaked me out a little. I would have to think of my situation at the time to say if i would have kept it or not. If i was needing money, if my family was struggling, and if it was silver, i probably would have kept it for monetary reasons. But if i found it and i didn't need the silver for monetary reasons i would have re buried it out of respect for the human owners and death. Just my thoughts.
